A Texan Economist: December 2009
http://jdvn1.blogspot.com/2009_12_01_archive.html
But not just Texan economics. Tuesday, December 15, 2009. Did everyone forget that the current recession (or, at least, the remnants thereof) was originally started by a housing crisis and financial crisis? And that these crises started before the Obama administration? And that, at the time, many people said that unemployment may not return to normal levels until 2012? Also, does no one realize that banks make money, at least partially, by lending money? Links to this post. Monday, December 14, 2009.

A Texan Economist: April 2010
http://jdvn1.blogspot.com/2010_04_01_archive.html
But not just Texan economics. Thursday, April 29, 2010. Historical GDP Growth v Top Marginal Tax Rates. How about this chart? Should we raise the top marginal tax rate? Is there a positive correlation between the top marginal tax rate and GDP growth? Cursory analysis says yes. Also note that for over 60 non-consecutive years (70 years with an 8 year gap in the middle), the top marginal tax rate was over 50%. Links to this post. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

A Texan Economist: Are private forecasts useful?
http://jdvn1.blogspot.com/2011/11/are-private-forecasts-useful.html
But not just Texan economics. Saturday, November 12, 2011. Are private forecasts useful? Thinks about the industry for forecasts. He makes me wonder how much private work he's done, as I think he seems to really miss the point of private economic modeling. I must say- remember that a firm will often purchase a number of difference forecasts, which will disagree, as well as produce their own forecasts. Does one expect a firm to "believe" all of these forecasts? Then, why purchase the others?

A Texan Economist: Google, unemployment, sports, and loans
http://jdvn1.blogspot.com/2010/06/google-unemployment-sports-and-loans.html
But not just Texan economics. Monday, June 14, 2010. Google, unemployment, sports, and loans. This from the World Bank. Here's a chart showing the duration of unemployment. Some Houston sports hotshots (not those) talk about how their sports businesses. Angry Bear has an interesting graph of the number of loans. Given by banks. I'd like to see the graph go back a few (maybe seven) more years. View my complete profile. Google, unemployment, sports, and loans. Economy - Google News. My more leisurely blog.

A Texan Economist: January 2010
http://jdvn1.blogspot.com/2010_01_01_archive.html
But not just Texan economics. Monday, January 18, 2010. Climate change, exchange rates, education, and new frontiers in economics. John Whitehead on climate change. The science hasn't been settled. Professor Whitehead doesn't go into this, but the consequences haven't been settled either. Chavez is still trying to fix his economy. This time by playing with his fixed exchange rate. The blind lead the blind. Tyler Cowen makes a partial list of over- and under-explored areas of economics. Links to this post.

But not just Texan economics. Monday, October 11, 2010. Congratulations to the recent Nobel Prize winners in Economics! I know, it's not called that, but you know what I mean. There's. More about the winners. Also, how about some other interesting articles? I don't really agree with that last one at all, but it's an interesting topic. Links to this post. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).
